Fracture of the penis: report of 9 patients treated either surgically or conservatively

Fracture of the penis: report of 9 patients treated either surgically or conservatively

In this paper nine patients with penile fracture were reported. Of these patients eight were treated surgically and one was treated conservatively. In all patients erectile function of the penis was preserved and there was no serious postoperative complication. Certainly, we believe the importance of early surgical repair. But for selected patients conservative management can be considered, although it requires a longer hospitalization time than that of surgical intervention.
